Do you know someone who has had Coronavirus after Pesach?

[good sam]

When the orange and red amounts to meaningful numbers not just more or less than before

In other words, too late.

[YitzyS]

If Rabbi Yisroel Reisman would be a rov in Lakewood and would hear about an uptick, he would demand that everyone in his shul start wearing masks and maintaining a reasonable distance.

You are naive if you think that every Lakewood rov is like him, but you are foolish if you think that there are no Lakewood rabbonim like him.

Speak to your rov. He may not do anything. But if he does, you can save lives. It seems almost certain.

R' Uren Reich was very vocal first time around...someone should talk to him.

The numbers have to be meaningfu to be of any use. Dutchess county is orange for example . They have 7 positives up from a just under that a few days ago. Makes for a pretty color but is meaningless. Real data is test numbers, percent positives, and random antibody sampling that show significant trends.

Here’s the accompanying chart in that article which is a far more accurate picture

That's a lot of yellow and light orange. When will we start talking precautions? When it's dark orange? Red?

I've been following the daily numbers for NY/NJ, and these graphics don't reflect reality.
The graph is showing COVID cases are increasing almost in every county, while new cases have been decreasing or flat for more than 2 months across the board.

What's the pshat?

I have no idea as I didn't see the source, but I would guess they set illogical criteria behind each color.

The bar charts are showing absolute number changes so an increase of 2 in Dutchess looks to be equal to a decrease of 100 in NYC

That doesn't explain what yuneeq did about cases going down.

[S209]

It does. Total NY can be going down even if most counties are going up, because NYC has had 10x more cases than the next. So even if NYC went down by 100 while other places ticked up by 5-10 apiece, total numbers would still be going down.

That's not what he said. I don't cate if total cases are going down of they're going up in  certain places.

I read his post as total numbers in NY/NJ going down. Perhaps I misread.

@YitzyS I'm surprised! YOAP! You said you were inspired by Tucker Carlson's message last night, which (I think) was that if you want your leaders to change, you have to tell them what you think is needed.

Get your marketing committee back on board, design a letter or flyer and send it to all the rabbonim in Lakewood.

I'm busy trying to feed my family, and don't have time this minute to head such a campaign. But I'm trying to stir it up on DDF so it will happen through another person.

I have a bunch of Floridians hanging around in my house. At what point can we sound the all-clear knowing that our antibodies work?

Just about everyone agrees at this point that antibodies work (for some time). As has been stated repeatedly. At what point will you hear the all clear that has been sounded?

Not to mention, hailing from Florida in no way means you are infected.

I think anyone being intellectually honest will agree that wearing a mask is a small tradoff (and not an imposition).

Speak for yourself. When I wear a mask I need to open it up to get a few breaths of air every couple of minutes. Yes, it is an imposition.

Get a better mask.

Do you have any respiratory issues, like asthma?

[grodnoking]

Get a worse mask.
